Normal service resumed

A rare morning away from birding as I took Jenny to Africa Alive, I suppose we did see Demoiselle Crane, Greater Flamingo, White Stork, African Eagle Owl, Egyptian Vulture etc. We did see a few native birds including 2 Buzzards wheeling over the southern end, a late nesting Moorhen, several Robins and a Dunnock, plus a Chiff- Chaff calling. Dragonflies were well represented with 10 Common Darters seen, 2 Brown Hawkers and an Emperor dragonfly. A look mid afternoon along Lowestoft's North beach, Ness Point and the Netposts and it was evident there had been a mass clear out of all birds: no sign of Knot (disappointingly 2nd time I have dipped this "confiding" [not for me] individual), Caspian Gulls, Spotted Flycatchers, Wheatears. Best there was 1 adult winter Mediterranean Gull (unringed) in winter plumage and 2 Blackcap, (1 adult & 1 imm male) and a Chiff- Chaff, imm Goldfinch and Blue Tit around the car park bushes NW corner. Around 50 Turnstones seen in all including 3 smart individuals (often very confiding and much in evidence) still in some summer plumage.
